The other way around. Zayo acquired ENA. 


That acquisition seemed odd. ENA did a lot of value add and non-IP services. Zayo seems to shed those on every 
acquisition.

Recently reached out to Zayo and found out we have a new account manager, and also discovered they were acquired by a 
company called ENA...

I've never understood companies that acquire and don't completely integrate as quickly as they can.

The problem we have run into is that there does not appear to be a "Zayo." There are dozens of acquisitions of regional 
providers with completely different infrastructure and teams and they have done a very poor job at gluing it all 
together. I have seen service orders that have gone *years* without being complete. There are also currently some 
breaking-the-entire-regional-network sorts of outages going on currently. I am guessing what clued employees they still 
have are quite tied up.
